The Ultimate Engagement Session
When I sit down with couples and discuss wedding photography, often times they’re very excited that a complementary engagement session is included in our wedding collections. This is a GREAT time to get to know my couples and help them become more comfortable in front of the camera. If you don’t know me, I love to shoot at random, interesting places. I challenge my couples to think outside the box, when it comes to where they want to shoot. I ask them to think of places that can tie into their lives…their interests, or hobbies. No matter where we photograph the engagement session, it’s always a good time. THIS session, however, had me humming some Pat Benatar….do you get it? (If you’re asking who is Pat Benatar….leave now and forever hold your peace) 🙂 Just Kidding stay….I’ll sing to you when we meet!
Welcome Aboard BB-62
When Min and Chris told me they wanted to shoot on the Battleship New Jersey , I said to Min “We can do that?” I was definitely intrigued. This was a first! After all, it’s not everyday you’re asked to do a photo shoot on a 76-year-old battleship, with TONS of History! Chris, having a Navy background, insisted on a Winter session. He got that all right! All 28 degree’s of it 😉 In my mind I was prepared to do most of our shooting outside, but when Jack, the organizations Sr. Vice President, met us on board he sure rolled out the red carpet for us.
He showed us around the ship and took us to different places he thought would photograph well, but he also showed us other areas of the battleship, like the mess hall and the ship’s chapel, to mention a few. We even got to “fire” one of the ships guns…that was a blast…..literally. If you ever get a chance, definitely visit Battleship New Jersey, I highly recommend it! Check them out online
The history behind the ship is certainly intriguing, and so close to home here in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area! For more information on Memory Keeper Photography Weddings, visit our wedding page and fill out the contact form!
